I commented on the reddit post about it and Matt Farah himself responded. I pointed out that I had around 7k invested in my C43 with a 55 swap and he said he had NO IDEA it was that cheap to build a C55, or he would've put it in the sub10k category. Meaning he apparently thought it cost MUCH more to build a C55. Maybe that's another sign the value on these cars is finally going up? (not likely)

He would be even more shocked to know that it costs half that 7k now a days with the motors selling for under 2k.
